Here at Plaid, we value work life balance and initiative. What personal software development projects have you worked on outside of work?

In addition to seeking candidates who have the skills and experience necessary to perform the job, hiring managers at Plaid want to make sure the individual will fit into their organization. This is why they are likely to ask you about activities outside of the workspace and personal interests you may have. Your ability to contribute to the corporate culture is as important as your ability to do the job. You should have some stories about your personal life prepared just in case the interviewer asks about this.
